“Cumpărat cu 1500 lei, câștigați serile trecute la poker, un quartet milanez de Mozart și al treilea concert brandenburghez de Bach. Ca să-mi fac și eu o bucurie în dimineața asta de primăvară, cu atâta soare, cu atâta tinerețe. Viața e undeva, alături de mine, în afară de mine.”
― Mihail Sebastian, Journal 1935-1944

“The air was heavy with the musty smell of humanity. But they danced furiously as though impelled by some strange power within them, and it seemed to Philip that they were driven forward by a rage for enjoyment. They were seeking desperately to escape from a world of horror. The desire for pleasure which Cronshaw said was the only motive of human action urged them blindly on, and the very vehemence of the desire seemed to rob it of all pleasure. The were hurried on by a great wind, helplessly, they knew not why and they knew not whither.”
― W. Somerset Maugham

“My eyes opened and took all this in. And for the first time in my life I realized that I no longer cared whether I preserved my place in all this or lost it: whether I stayed here or went to the army. All that no longer mattered. It was in the hands of One Who loved me far better than I could ever love myself: and my heart was filled with peace.
It was a peace that did not depend on houses, or jobs, or places, or times, or external conditions. It was a peace that time and material-created situations could never give. It was peace that the world could not give.”
― Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain
